How do you use your rear seat storage? (Pic request)

[Kevin_D]

The Freedom panel storage bag takes up most of the underseat storage bin.
Miscellaneous emergency supplies behind the seat.
Velcro-ing a small first aid kit to the bulkhead behind the seat works pretty well.

Please elaborate

I removed the plastic holder so I can use the space under the seat. You can't lift the seats up with car seats installed.

Under Seat:

• Torque wrenches: 5-80lb-ft and 50-250lb-ft
• Breaker bar
• Roll-up tool pouch with socket sets (includes one for every bolt/nut size the JT uses, including 26 for the oil filter housing!), conversions/extensions, torx bit set, allen key set, various spare bolts/nuts/screws/pushpins (mostly spares from bumper/fender flares install)
• Heavy-duty jumper cables
• Siphon pump
• Steel hammer
• Rubber mallet
• Large magnet that can pick up/hold 100-200lbs
• Some spare fuses
• Tray with magnet
• Tub of high temp grease and white lithium grease. Yes I know I don't need so much, they are as much a place holder as they are for me being lazy and not putting in smaller containers
• Metal wire/strips to hold up things to parts that get hot
• Standing light
• Headlamp
• Sticky rubber gloves
• Sticky/grippy nitrile gloves
• Roll of shop towels
• Instruction manual for the Smittybilt winch
• Paracord bracelet with flint
• The diaper is clean, I swear.
• I have some things under the other side but there's a car seat in the way. Should be stuff I don't foresee needing except in emergencies that warrant removing the seat. Probably some rope and other survival gear

As you can see, I have more room for more stuff if I needed, but not much

I will be adding a printout of the torque specs on the driveline and common components. It's about 8 pages front-and back with diagrams on where the parts are.


Behind the seats, not pictured:
3 pouches of gear oil/differential fluid - I think it's 75-90. I think, still no clear answer even from this thread, on whether 75-85 or 75-140 should be used, but I'm keeping enough for both diffs with 75-85 as I have open diffs and Max Tow (not just Trailer Tow package). Anyway, I figure in an emergency I'll be ok with 75-90

GoPro gear for outings (inevitably I will forget to pack it so I keep mounts and such behind the passenger side rear seat)


I have also been able to fit: a set of armor and rifle with mags behind the seats. You know, for when you have that sudden desire to go train at the range


Oh and behind the driver's seat: air compressor, tow strap, limb saver, tarp, blanket, jacket, fire extinguisher, large ratchet straps, tarp, chords, lug-cross wrench, and umbrella.

The only thing you're missing is a roll of duct tape ?

•Pen/s
•75 lb. carabiner
•Hand Sanitizer
•Smith & Wesson knife
•Chem Light
•Basic First Aid Kit
•5.11 Rapid PL Flashlight
•Ozark Trail Multi Tool
•Tourniquet
•5.11 High Abrasion Tac Gloves
•Pack of Bungee Cords
•Husky Bag with (2) Husky 6 ft. Cam Buckle Straps and (2) Husky Rachet Straps
•Microfiber Cloth/s
•Glock 43 or 26 in case someone wants to try me (never kept inside, just to stow away temporarily)

The 40/split side (drivers side) I keep primarily empty in case I need to put something there when I’m out and about so I try not to over do it.

Behind the seats are empty at the moment as I haven’t really found anything to place there permanently yet. Maybe a decent set of jumper cables eventually.

Interesting thread; I’ll be moving my frequently used tools to the rear bed drawers I built…so under the seats I upgraded to the JCR bucket, and installed a 800w inverter on the drover side and will be putting a bottle Jack, tire plug kit, engine spares, and anything that doesn’t smell bad or leaks but is seldom used (or if used I don’t mind going inside the cab). Installing it this weekend…

I keep the tools under my tonneau cover, in a container specifically for that. Same thing with my recovery gear. I keep jumper cables, flashlights, first aid kit, and a few more things under the seat, as well as a pistol grip shotgun and a storage box that holds a handgun.

I have a garage for tools and things like lithium grease that I don't need. I'm not trying to be jack-of-all-trades, I just want what I could possibly need in a road emergency.

Can someone recommend an aftermarket under rear seat steel lock box for LE equipment (SBR, SG...) ? Can someone share dimensions and photos of how much room there is under there for an afermarket (or custom) steel box. If I can't find a pre made secure enough box I'll just make my own.

And then.... I found this:

"CORTEZ, Colo., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tuffy Security Products has introduced the Model #387-01, Underseat Lockbox for 2020 to 2022 Jeep® Gladiator models.

Being recently retired LE, I will say Tuffy makes stuff I would feel comfortable leaving equipment in. I have several of their products and I am pleased with the level of security their designs provide.

That JCR stuff looks awesome.

I bought bumpers and sliders for my XJ from them almost 20 years ago when they were just getting started
